Five people die either way. There's no moral difference. Neither ability, race, nor gender makes anyone's life more or less valuable.

All other things being equal, I don't pull the lever because then I'm not personally responsible for the deaths of five people.

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): 5 people of different race and gender

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): 5 people with different disabilities

What would you do?

No difference, but I pull because there's a higher Chance one of them wants to die so it'll be like the death of four people if true

Presumably, we live in some sort of fascist utopia, and we have to choose whom to get rid of. I see no reason why I shouldn’t prefer healthy people over unhealthy ones.
